On Friday evening last, Capt. lredell
Jones received telegram from Aiken, in
forming him of the serious illness of his
wife, who was there with her relatives.
He left on Saturday for her bedside, and
yesterday morning telegram to his broth
er, Captain Allen Jones, conveyed the sad
intelligence of her death. 1t has been but
Il few weeks since reported the death of
their little babe, and now it is my painful
duty to report the death of the mother,
who leaves an Infant only a few days old
Could I say anything to relieve Captain
Jones in this sad aftiiction, how gladly
would I do so! But it is beyond the power
of human being to do more than offer
consolation to the bereaved. Only those
who have been called upon to give up a
loving wife can know his anguish. The
sympathy of our entire community goes
out to him in his deep distress. Mrs.
Jones will be buried at Aiken.
An unusual occurrence in on town was
